Amber waves and all that.Grains, the staff of life! This week's theme is a celebration of the grains that give us life and energy and two of my best friends - bread and pasta. Let's not forget beer!
According to Wiki:
Wholegrains are cereal grains that contain bran and germ as well as the endosperm, in contrast to refined grains, which retain only the endosperm. Wholegrains can generally be sprouted while processed grains generally will not sprout. Wholemeal products are made from wholegrain flour.
Common wholegrains:
Common wholegrain products include:
- Whole wheat flour
- Whole Wheat Bread
- Whole wheat Pasta
- Rolled oats or oat groats
- Popcorn
Just choose any of Nigella Lawson's recipes that contain grains, preferably whole grains but we are not sticklers by any stretch of the imagination...Cook it up and post it by February 28th.
